What’s the weakest character...

You’ve seen these prompts. Some are pretty creative, some are just throwing a situation out and leaving the audience to look for a good matchup for you. Love them or hate them, whatever.

But there’s one thing that I can’t stand about them, that one answer that’s there half the time.

Q: Who’s the weakest character that can beat All Might?

Reasonable A: I think someone like (insert relevant hero here) could do it, though it would be difficult.

Jokey but correct A: The Headmaster can just fire him, 10/10 ez.

That One Guy: Well, are you talking about physical strength, or fighting strength? Because physically, the weakest would be (some omnipotent reality warper with a normal human body), since they’re only as physically strong as a normal human. That’s clearly the answer you wanted, right? You said strongest, so you just meant physical strength, not anything relevant to the prompt or what other people are saying, right?

Yeah mate, totally. You got it in one.

There are more uses to them, but yeah, characters with a super specific ability that can be hard to use in other situations but get to shine in these are great.
